What to do if you’ve had an accident.

Being in a car crash, no matter how serious, can be a frightening experience. If you've had an accident, simply follow these steps:

Turn on your hazard lights and move your vehicle off the road, if it's safe to do so.

Exchange information with the other driver – you'll need to collect:

The driver's name and address

The name and address of the vehicle's owner

The vehicle's registration

Record details of the crash, including location, date and time

Take photos of the damage to the vehicles/property involved

If police didn't attend the scene, report the crash if the total damages of all the property involved is likely to exceed $3000, or the accident resulted in a bodily injury or death of a person or animal.
